@kaylabrookeMSW Kayla, it's important for our youth to have a positive sense of future. We need to do a better job of fostering and promoting protective factors for our LBGTQ youth. #dignityandworthofperson #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@lauren_wkumsw Lauren, this is great progress. As social workers we need to understand, support, and affirm this population. Doing this supports NASW dignity and worth of person and the importance of human relationships. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

Women have been uniquely impacted by Covid19 from unpaid care & unsecured labor markets. The UN chief released statement/actions that aims to redress long standing inequalities in women's lives & build a more resilient world. #service #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@AdalineEstay Immigration continues to be a controversial topic in the U.S. However, Lyndon B. Johnson emphasized:"The land flourished because it was fed from so many sources–because it was nourished by so many cultures & traditions and people.” A great reminder. #service #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@DavidPa86591889 @GovAndyBeshear I'm happy to see BG commitment to ensure the refugee population is getting access to the vaccine. Covid-19 has made job markets, education, and labor markets difficult to access however, healthcare remains the priority. #dignity&worthofperson #service #WKUsocialworkpolicy

After the tragic death of George Floyd and a pandemic disproportionately affecting people of color, systematic racism and bias continues to be prevalent in the. U.S. NASW supports social justice, service, & dignity & worth of person. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@kim19982012 Elder abuse is something that needs more attention & exploration of how to best support families that are caring for their loved one. Financial exploitation sadly, becomes the main motivation for many. This is inconsistent w/ NASW: Dignity & worth of person. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@CallieFuller20 Many struggle with home care vs. assisted living options for their elderly loved ones. For some, there are no options because of the rising costs of assisted living facilities that make it difficult to provide the best care. #dignity&worthofperson #service #WKUsocialworkpolicy

According to NY Times, the aging population in the U.S lost almost $30 billion a year to theft & financial fraud from hiring help outside of family members. According to NASW: we support the Dignity & Worth of Person & justice for all. #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/Gz1MlOF0O1

@ClaireP16551385 Claire, it is my hope that when considering foster care placements for our youth, it's imperative that we include the children in this process as their insight and placement choices are valuable and need to be heard. #Dignity&worthofperson #service #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[ccprater @ccprater1]

@CallieFuller20 This is a very important topic. Research supports that a stable & loving home environment for foster care youth supports healthy development and relationships long term. This is consistent with NASW: social justice & dignity & worth of person. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[ccprater @ccprater1]

Child welfare workers are experiencing compassion fatigue at a much higher rate than other helping professions. This creates mental exhaustion & leads to burnout, which is the #1 reason for turnover. This is inconsistent with NASW: Dignity & Worth of Person. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[ccprater @ccprater1]

@whitney_byler Whitney, this is a great infographic. The topic of mental health has increased significantly, however some employers and agencies are lacking in the safety nets that are needed to support and empower those to seek help. #WKUsocialworkpolicy #dignity&worthofperson #justice

[ccprater @ccprater1]

@ClaireP16551385 Claire, I believe the importance of mental health and the social acceptance associated is likely going to increase after the impact of Covid-19. Healthy mental functioning is congruent with NASW: dignity and worth of a person and competence. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[ccprater @ccprater1]

Covid-19 has had a dangerous impact on mental health. The WHO/ policy makers are examining what kind of delivery systems should be developed vs. discontinued in order to reach vulnerable populations. #WKUsocialworkpolicy #Dignity&worthofperson #Service https://t.co/pL9Ycb9PZR

[ccprater @ccprater1]

@ClaireP16551385 Healthcare will be the most expensive cost for Americans & it's a necessity. This is inconsistent with NASW code of ethics: social justice, dignity & worth of person. We need to advocate for more affordable options. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[ccprater @ccprater1]

@lauren_wkumsw Lauren, great ted talk for this issue. We should be working to eliminate health disparities, and policies that support self-determination, dignity, and worth of the individual within the healthcare system.

[ccprater @ccprater1]

The U.S is the richest nation in the world, yet we stand alone w/ no form of universal health care. This is inconsistent w/ NASW that views health care as a basic human right. The attached article explains why this is critical today.

@PaigeCato6 @kydavidgivens This is a great first step toward empowering those who suffer with substance abuse, rather than eliminating supportive resources. According to social work speaks, we should be using the strengths perspective to foster resiliency within these individuals. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@DavidPa86591889 @Alvarado4Senate @mikewilson2018 @Kyrepmeredith This infographic gives critical insight into an important area of concern. According to social work speaks, there is a commitment to increase access to appropriate services and interventions. #WKUsocialworkpolicy
